中国煤炭地质研究取得的重大进展与今后的主要研究方向

Major achievements and future research directions of the coal geology in China

摘要: 国务院关于加强地质工作决定发布以来，中国煤炭地质勘查技术研究与找矿取得了重大成就，保障了国家对能源资源的需求。但当前符合科学绿色开发的煤炭产能比例仍然偏低，在开发条件较好、已经逐渐成为煤炭主力产区的西部地区，水资源破坏和地表生态损伤严重仍制约着西部煤炭资源的绿色开发。煤炭利用面临着大气污染控制、温室气体减排和生态环境保护的多重压力。煤炭地质科学研究仍然存在着8个方面的研究重点亟待提升。

Abstract: Since the State Council promulgated the document concerning strengthening the geological work, the research and prospecting for coal resources in China have obtained ten major achievements, which have largely ensured the national needs for energy resources. However, the proportion of the scientific and green development of coal is still very low and, in the western part of China, where the relatively favorable coal development conditions and coal production are dominated, the damage of water resources and the harm to surface ecology have already restricted the green development of coal resources. Coal utilization is facing serious pressures from air pollution control, greenhouse gas emission reduction, and ecological and environmental protection. The coal geology still has eight difficult problems which need to be studied in the future.
